No cracks…

about your age, I PROMISE!

WOW! Can you believe it is December already!!! OMG, I am so not ready for Christmas. But the one thing I am ready for and that is being part of the 4 Crafty Chicks as their December Guest Designer. I want to say a big thank you to the entire team for asking me to join them, they have all been so supportive – I just hope I don’t disappoint them.

Are you tired of making Christmas cards? It seems like that is all I get done these days – YES I procrastinated too long in getting my cards made. For a nice change of pace, the challenge this week at 4 Crafty Chicks is Birthday.

I don’t know about you but I never seem to have enough masculine themed birthday cards. For my card I’m using a digi stamp from Bonibleaux’s Dude Time Doodles. I colored the image using copics and around the perimeter of the image I doodled a few dots and dashed rather than matting the image.

I made another sentiment for my card – feel free to download it and use it, all I ask is that you link back to me if you do.

I added the sentiment to a strip of BasicGrey DP and matted the strip and attached a few copper gems. The background DP is also from BasicGrey. A couple of ribbons were added to complete the card.

I hope I’ve inspired you to join 4 Crafty Chicks Birthday Challenge – I can’t wait to see your creations.

Absolutely love it!! What a cute blog site – love the animals at the top. Pete Plumber hasn’t looked this good in a while! I’ve posted a link to your blog on the Dude Time Doodles Facebook page – be sure to check it out!!

What a wonderful card, Dee! Love the sentiment — so perfect with the image! Really happy that you chose to play along at Cooking It Up with Katie this time. Remember, you can enter a total of 3 times while this challenge runs during December. Merry Christmas.

A little bit about me…

I LOVE making cards. For me, making greeting cards is a cheap (relatively) form of therapy.
My hubby is one of the most wonderful, caring men in this world. We have two children that are married and they have each blessed us with two grandsons.
Sunday is usually the day we get together as a family and sit down for a meal. The noise levels at time reads pretty high on the decibel meter but I wouldn't change it for anything in this world.
I am a huge sports fan; especially the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. I haven't had much to cheer about lately but one of these years but that's okay as I enjoy just watching the games.
I watch entirely too much television - I enjoy Project Runway, Top Chef, American Idol, NCIS, Castle, Suits, the list goes on - all I can say is thank goodness for DVR!
Thank you for stopping by - I love visitors and I hope you drop by often.
